Lasts only four innings Fried gave up four runs on six hits and zero walks over four innings during the Game 1 win over the Marlins in the NLDS. He had four strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

Impact Most of the damage came during the third inning as Miami tallied three runs on four hits, including a two-run double from Garrett Cooper. Fried could be available out of the bullpen toward the tail end of the five-game series, otherwise he lines up to start Game 1 of the NCLS if the Braves can complete the series victory.

Blanks Reds in Game 1 Fried allowed six hits over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Reds on Wednesday in a Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series. He struck out five and did not issue a wa...

Impact While he was not quite as dominant as opposing starter Trevor Bauer, all that matters is that Fried hung zeros on the scoreboard. The lefty showcased his incredible curveball and worked out of two-on, one-out jams in the first, sixth and seventh innings as part of Atlanta's 13-inning combined shutout. Fried stepped up in a major way after the Braves lost Mike Soroka (Achilles) early on, posting a 2.25 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 50:19 K:BB in 56 frames during the regular season. He will start Game 1 of the NLDS if the Braves are able to close this series out.

Gains clearance for Game 1 Fried (ankle) received full medical clearance Sunday and will take the hill Wednesday in Game 1 of the Braves' wild-card series against the Reds, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

Impact Just as Braves general manager Alex Anthopolous predicated days earlier, Fried was able to complete his between-starts throwing session without incident, leaving him available to start Atlanta's postseason opener. Fried was the top pitcher in an Atlanta rotation that struggled both from a health and performance standpoint in 2020. He finished the regular season with a 2.25 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 50:19 K:BB across 56 innings.

Will start Game 1 General manager Alex Anthopoulos told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM on Thursday that Fried (ankle) will be ready to start the Braves' first game of the playoffs.

Impact He was pulled from Wednesday's start as a precautionary measure after he tweaked his ankle, but the minor injury will not affect his availability for the postseason. Atlanta will be leaning heavily on Fried during these playoffs, as their next best starting pitchers are all rookies.

Leaves with ankle issue Fried made a precautionary exit from Wednesday's start against the Marlins after tweaking his ankle, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Impact The 26-year-old suffered the injury while fielding a bunt during the first inning, and he headed to the clubhouse after completing the frame. He also allowed a pair of solo homers. It's no surprise the Braves are exercising caution with the playoffs starting next week, but it's not ideal for Fried to be leaving his final start of the regular season with an injury, even if they are labeling the removal as precautionary.

Goes five strong in return Fried (7-0) allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three across five innings to get the win against the Mets on Friday.

Impact Fried entered Friday's contest with a 1.69 road ERA, good for second in the MLB, and stayed true to those numbers. In his first start off the injured list, he allowed a fifth-inning RBI double to Jeff McNeil, but otherwise the young lefty faced little pressure as he induced eight of his 15 outs via grounders en route to a perfect 7-0 record on the season. Fried's 1.96 ERA is good for fourth in the majors, and he has yet to surrender a home run in 10 starts this season. He'll look to keep things rolling in his next start Wednesday against the Marlins.
